Force-load withouth missing mods

[tobiasej]

Hi All.
Playing on steam, using steam workshop for managing mods:
So my current save from 17b had a bunch of mods enabled. Most of the mods have updated now to 18 so that's good. But I still miss updates on Quarry, RT fuse and realistic rooms. But: The only real difference is that I have a quarry on my map and two fuses and thats it.

So my question is: Is there a way I can force the map to load in version 18 without the non-updated mods enabled and just simply accept that Rimworld will delete/remove all unrecognized objects, eg. the quarry and two fuses? Currently I'm stuck after loading map under generating assets and gets an error log.

Thanks for the help!

Alas it's not working as easily. But maybe you can use dev tools to destroy objects from non-updated mods (while in A17), save and launch the game in B18.

It's not guaranteed to works but that's how I do when needed. I'd say it suffice half of the time

First backup you safegame.
Open it with a good texteditor.
Try to search for quarry,fuse or circuit and the things from the realistic rooms and try to delete the lines.
Safe and try if it loads.

Alternativ goback to A17, get the mission A17 mods from the forum here.
Load your colony,
Delete all items from Quarry, RT fuse and realistic rooms.
And safe the colony.
Then try to load it with B18.

Hi Canute and Kaptain_Kavern: Two very legit solutions to try out. Thanks! Will try them out the next evenings....

Thanks!
